Indonesian anti-graft agency seizes suspected illicit payments in land case

The anti-graft agency says it seized millions of rupiah from a land office official who was questioned as a witness.

The investigation concerns alleged bribery over land rights for property company PT Summarecon Agung and other payments in the land ministry.

Eight people have been named as suspects and are being held.

The case matters because it concerns alleged corruption in decisions about land rights.
